Schloss Britz
The Schloss Britz (Britz castle) is the former manor-house of the historical ''Rittergut'' (country estate) and village Britz, now a district of Berlin-Neukölln. Today it is the headquarters of the cultural organization ''Kulturstiftung Schloss Britz'' and includes authentic reconstructed rooms from around 1880. The house is a museum demonstrating interiors of the Gründerzeit era. The manorial park is also well preserved with its mature trees and its 1890s system of trails. In 1997 the park was honored with the German Gustav Meyer Prize for the accuracy and historic authenticity of the reconstruction. The old farmyard with stables and smithy and the workers' section, with a chimney of a brewery and some storehouses are preserved, too.
